There is something deeply satisfying about the utility of an old silk iron. It is heavy, purposeful, and far more interesting than anything you will find in a modern department store. This piece has a bit of tarnish that will clean up beautifully if you are into the high-shine look, but I personally think the current glow suits its history. This item is vintage, over 75 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
